Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) (People's Justice Party), often known simply as KeADILan) is a centrist political party in Malaysia, formed in 2003 by a merger of Parti Keadilan Nasional (National Justice Party) and the older Malaysian People's Party.
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) promotes an agenda with a strong social justice and anti-corruption emphasis.
